IDF: Sirens near Lebanon border were caused by interceptor missiles targeting threat over troops in Lebanon

The sirens that sounded in Lebanon border communities a short while ago were set off by interceptor missiles launched at an apparent Hezbollah aerial threat over an area of southern Lebanon where troops are deployed, the military says.

It says the sirens were activated in Israel as a precaution due to concern about shrapnel from the interceptors.
